“Today, we’re fighting a new war to defend our liberty and our people and our way of life. And as we work to advance the cause of freedom around the world, we remember that the father of our country believed that the freedoms we secured in our revolution were not meant for Americans alone.”
This quote comes from Dubya’s speech at Mount Vernon on Monday. Now I’m sure that he intends it to justify his incursion into Iraq, but I can see in it the evidence that the rights afforded to American citizens for fair and just treatment should be afforded to our captives at Guantanamo Bay as well.
Freedom is not defined solely by the right to buy Chevron gas and Slurpees, but also the right to an attorney, the right to a fair hearing and speedy trial, and the right to contact family members.
Dubya just speaks the words and works to make them sound friendly and down-home. I don’t believe he’s either friendly or down-home. He’s more interested in the corporate welfare than the welfare of the needy, and..I believe he just doesn’t care about you and me!
